Best answer:
No, the laser light used in devices like grocery scanners and printer/scanners, copy machines, ect… are a very weak low frequency and pose no danger to the eyes.
Wouldn’t be a hassle to have to wear special protection to get your box of cereal scanned ?…lol

Some do if stared directly in your eye for a long time. it puts strain on the eyes, forcing them to work weakly.

this isnt guarenteed but from what i undrstand it does. it come with a warning label so there must be a reason for it. also that is what i have always been told. any direct light in your eyes is harmful that is why it hurts to look at light bulbs when turned on because it is harmful so i am gonna say yes but it is not definate
